"And now," said he, show came that
bear here?"
''Won him at rattle" sobbed Ben.
''In raffier' exclaimed Mr.. Kenni-
son, in amazement. "And then you
brought him home and put him in the
granary, and let him eat up my robes
and harness. Suppose some one had
gone into that granary, not knowing
the bear was therep'
He'd come right out again, l

Exactly so. How came you to be
engaged in a raf1le?"
Ben explained.
The scene that ensued was not en-
acted in so good style as it might have
been if Bruin had not destroyed theuse-
fulness of the silver-mounted whip.
Still, very effective work may be done
with a well-selected piece of birch.
Ben's part in the performance proved
that his voice had not been worn out in
shouting through the granary scutle.
Although this happened many years
ago, City Editor Kennison has not for
gotten what he paid for that bear and
he has had Il low opinion of raffies, ever
sinbe that time. - Charles d. Clark, IN

A Crime as Well as a Sin.

While so much healthful discussion
goes on relative to the destruction Of
the saloon system, it should not be lost
sight of that drunkenness is n crime as
well as "A sin, and that society is bound
to so regard it. The kind of senti-
mentalism that makes it mistake,
fault, and sometimes only kind of
reasonable misfortune, is always on
hand, and more. of course, at such
time as the present, when the thought
of the people is brought so to bear
against the Observation-Disclosures. But it
is wrong. A speaker at a meeting in
an Eastern city recently made the sug-
gestion that every first conviction of
drunkenness should be visited with the
penalty of denial of the right of suf-
frage for year. That, or something
equivalent to it, would be useful.

POPULAR QUOTATIONS.
The Origin of a Number of Familiar Max
inns and Phrases.

The Origin of Number of Familiar Max
inns and Phrases,
Who wrote the letters of Junius?. 1t
is generally conceded that Sir Philip
Francis did, but there is no certainty
about it, 1t has been well said, how
ever, that the time spent in trying to
find out who Junius was would be better
expended in leaning to write as well
as Junius wrote.
''God tempcrs the wind to the shorn
lamb was long believed to be from the
Scriptures. But Sterne wrote it in his
Sentimental Journey"
This is the time when these questions
come up like Banquo's ghost (''Mac-
BETH" Scene 5, Act III.), and will not
down" until traced to their proper
lineage.
A correspondent asks; "Who origin
ated the phrase, Pouring oil on the
troubled waters?'" That discussion
came up here in Detroit some five years
ago. A lady riding in Cass avenue
horse car asked another lady if she
knew. Then a gentleman offered to
write to a friend of his, fellow of
Edinburgh College, and, taking the adj
dress Of the lady, he gave his own. In
the course of some months the letter
came. and DR.. Samuel Leggert copied
this part of it into his Webster's Die
tionary of quotations, where it is re-
corded in his fine, scholarly handwrit-
ing:
THE venerable Bede says: "A priest
called Utta was sent into Kent to fetch
Lanplede, King Edwine' daughter, who
was to be married to King Osin, A. D.
617. Before his departure Utta visited
Bishop Sida and besought his prayers
for a prosperous journey. The bishop
blessed him and gave him a pot of oil,
saying: Remember that you cast into
the sea this oyle that will give you and
the wind being laid comfortable fayre
weather shall ensuc on the sea- >"
This has nothing to do with the IA
miliar phrase burning the midnight oil:
Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toll
Ger books consumed the midnight OILY
The couplet was written by Gay and
used by many of the English bards.
There is another popular quotation
which has been run to the ground re-
Gently:
When ignorance is bliss
'Tis folly to be wise.
This was written by the poet Gray in
a poem on Elton College.

comes the tug of war;" is a popular
misquctation from when Greeks joined

The majority of readers will insist
that "Cleanliness is next to godlness''
is in the Bible, but it is not. John Wes-
ley said it in this wise: Certainly this
is Il duty, not a sin; cleanliness is, in
deed next to goodness. From whom
did he quote?-Detroit Free Press.

When ignorance is bliss
wis folly To be Wise
Skilled Labor Cheapest.

The farmer too often makes the mis-
take of employing a man who will work
for the least money, without regard to
his ability. If he has some minor build
ings to erect, instead ofsecuring a good
carpenter, it is thought to be economy
to secure an ordinary laborer at half
the price per day. In such case it is
nearly always true that the skilled
workman would do much more than
twice the work in day. Then the
satisfaction of having the work, in any
line of improvement or repairs, as it
should be, is a sufficient reason. too, for
such a course. There is ''fitness of
things which should be continually
kept in view.-Natio,saL Lice Stoch

There were l39 insane hospitals in
the United States according to the tenth
census. The number of insane then in
institutions was 1922, besides LII
idiots. This number increases about
six per cent. year, and the number at
home, whichin 1880 approached 40, 900,
is steadily decreasing. In 1890 there
will probably be found about 1875, 900 in
sane in the country, of whom $4,000
will be in institutions. Here is a vast
and increasing army that represents an
unreasonable amount of disappointed
hopes, anxiety and misery. well-nigh
